received a text just after my husband did saying it is from sterling and the msg: Strling Notice.  Unusual activity.  Call us now at 1-888-883-9544.  Do not use any credit cards and have no accounts with Sterling.

Received the same text - Obviously fraudulent did not call - No accounts with Sterling, Sterling Bank or anything similar. Perhaps coincidence but today my bank has reported fraudulent activity on my account in another state. Be careful of rip off artists..they are everywhere it seems!

Received text from sterling stating unusual activity.  Do not have any sterling bank accounts.  Then received another text with a different number to call.

Got the text last night in Houston same as everyone Sterling Alert/Unusual activity - Call now. I ignored because I felt it was a scam, today I find unusual activity on my ATM/Debit card from Orlando, FL. My bank feels my card was duplicated somewhere and now I have fraudulent usage. Don't know if they are related but I canceled  that ATM card. Be aware of all the damn scammers and thieves. I hope they burn in hell!!!!!!!

Rec'd the same txt msg last nite at 7:17PM from Sterlling.  Knew it was a scam.  Had an FBI friend of mine call it and got the message "this number is no longer in service"

got same message lasr night. never call them back and never give any personal info over the phone to anyone.

6:59 pm rec'd same call -- same mesg stating Sterling Alert Unusual Activity ... now I see these posts I will simply delete.  What is going on?

Got the text message on the 21st at about 7 PM in the Houston area.  Called and hung up when they asked for credit card number.  Reported this number as a new identity theft scam number to the FBI and local authorities.

This is so weird that so many of us received the same message.  Just ignore it and delete it.

Received this text message last night.  FRM: Sterling MSG: Sterling Alert/Unusual activity - Call now at 1-(877)-300-8838.  My husband received the same message.  Very weird and strange.  Neither of us were that curious so we just delelted it.
